- Here's the great William Shatner aka Captain James T Kirk from Star Trek having the This is your Life Experience on Thames TV 27 December 1989. Alas the only Trekkie from the original series who I recognise and I am just a fan of the original shows not an expert is the one and only late great Leonard Nimoy Mr Spock.
Shatner and Nimoy interacting was so good. Put a smile on my face.
The captain just set the record today as the oldest person to enter space
Nimoy was such a highlight of this. Those two men are magical :)
He is the Captain. Kirk Great guy then, and still now. Bill Shatner will always be the James Tiberius Kirk of the SSE
Just watching all the films through again. Fantastic! He's a clever, clever man.
I remember as a kid in 1969, my Dad would sit and watch Star Trek reruns that would always come on just before supper time at 6:00pm in the evening. My Mom always tried to make sure supper would be ready right after Star Trek. She wasn't a fan of the show and at that time, I would come in from outside playing getting ready to eat as I would sit next to my Dad always asking questions about what just happened on the show or why did this or that happened. He didn't want to be interrupt so he would always tell me to go and play in my room until supper time was ready. I didn't know anything about the show and tried to get myself into it but couldn't. Now that I am a whole lot older, I have seen every episodes of the original Star Trek over and over again.
SO CHARMING AND HANDSOME! GREAT DAD TOO. HE HAS A THUMBS UP WITH ME :>)
I love this show . I love William shatter.
Love this so much,.william Shatner is a great actor and seemd to be really loved by all his family and peers, not many people from montreal were so succesful, so great he did so well.😀
When you listen to the bicycle story the genuine laughter coming from Bill is contagious and so nice to hear. People in the comments need to stop the hate. And no one mentions the mad professor skit? So funny! Just imagine a teen Bill Shatner performing this to children!!
It is genuinely sweet when Shatner doesn't realize that Julie Harris was on videotape.
Yeah, he thought she was live. Really cool!!
The Universe would not be right without Bill Shatner and/or Jim Kirk! His (Shatner's) early work on the Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and films like Brothers Kamazarov and Judgement at Nuremberg were equally great, he does somehow stand out, even in a smaller role. He had great quality of diction and learned his trade on the stage in Shakespere in Stratford, Ontario. That Shatner voice is so distinctive.
I would give my right teeth to have seen him on Broadway in The World of Suzie Wong.
He is special, as is Nimoy. Jews are a special people and a blessing to the world from God. They have done so much for the world, including the world of entertainment.
I’ve seen a clip of The World of Susie Wong when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Would LOVE so much to see the whole play.
He will always be Captain Kirk!
Thank you for posting this. It was wonderful to watch. Mr. Shatner seemed to really enjoy the memories. Since this program, Mr Shatner has been many places, done more things, & has given us, his fans countless hours of entertainment, and like the Energiser battery he has much more to give. I hope it never ends.
Yes. Shat has done all that. Benny Hill also gives tons of great moments on video.
@@bennyhillconsideredfunnier3356 Benny Hill was great, but what does that have to do with anything? LOL
Aww I miss Leonard and Bill's interactions. Loved watching them joking around. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Leonard was sure a great actor!
can't beat the Shat.
I love the guy.
LOL!
Hm, perilously close to another word, but not in the past tense! :-)
@@DokktorDeth well in the UK they do actually use that as the past tense for that word , as in : he shat his pants ... haha ... they have a way with words over there
My Hero! and what a lovely man. Its nice to see all the other stars too.
Hayden
There was another hilarious part on "AIRPLANE 2" where Shatner appears on what seems to be a monitor on a console, and the operator says "Sir, I think you'd better get down here right away." Shatner replies "Ok", then simply opens a hidden door and walks in :D
mistofoles unforgettable scene...also the later bit he does when he's assessing the situation from various people is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen
"Why the hell aren't I notified about these things?" th-cam.com/video/p2P1AcbZ4-E/w-d-xo.html
Yes, that's the funniest scene in the entire film LOL
And don't forget the end teaser for Airplane 3 (there's still time)! LoL
This is your life seemed to omit the parts Bill Shatner played for Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. Which was way before Star Trek.
They probably didn't have anyone available. They always have someone from a time period mentioned to greet the person
Yes. I remember Bill on Twilight Zone (TOS....just like Star Trek) He was a wonderful actor even at the start of his career.
And also in episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Boris Karloff's Thriller amongst many others.
They omitted nearly his entire TV career both pre and post original Trek. Glad they mentioned The Andersonville Trial at least.
That twilight Zone episode was the Shat!
Great to see this here - many thanks for the upload!
Thanks for posting this ! ! I really enjoyed it !
Really surprised they left out all the great work he did on the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits.
Exactly
He was in a lot of Westerns too. Maybe there wasn't enough time to squeeze everything in 🤔
Fell in love with William Shatner in 1966 -- and he's still sexy today at age 88 - LOVE HIM
Me too!
I’ll update this for you: I also fell in love with William Shatner in 1966 and as of March 22, 1921 at 90 years old, he’s still sexy and amazing and intelligent! An absolute treasure!
I'm giving this a like for the ape practical effects alone prior to even seeing William Shatner in the video.
missed out his two Columbo appearances,also,he was the 'Big Giant Head' in '3rd rock from the sun' plus he was in the big bang theory a lot.
He is SO gorgeous!
The "bicycle story" about 16 minutes in is priceless. The chemistry between Nimoy and Shatner was extraordinary. Too bad that the host was so dull.
Gordon Warlow Aspel wasn't too bad an interviewer (his chat show Aspel & Co ran for years) but his predecessor as host on TIYL was Eamon Andrews who was FAR better
Michael Aspel (the host) had a dry wit but also the intelligence to be gracious and respectful of his 'target'. He did not want to steal the limelight. He said just enough but always stood a few steps back to allow the guest to be center stage. A great professional.
Perhaps an ideal example of the cultural differences between Britain and America. One, understated and considered, the other in your face. A good example would be to compare poor Laurel and Hardy on the American 'This is Your Life' they looked shell-shocked and awkward the whole way through and never really relaxed. The presenter of that was so overpowering to be almost sickly.
Michael Aspel is great.
These are all valid points about professionalism, however, with all due respect, I find Michael Aspel extremely boring, emotionally vacant and cold. I grew up watching him on TV and yet never liked him. Frankly I think he got lucky having a TV career. Yes, the host of This Is Your Life shouldn't steal the show, and needs to let the guests have all the attention, but it's perfectly possible for him to do this while still having bags of charm and warmth himself.
I think Richard Whiteley was that kind of a host, and IMHO he would have been a lot better presenter of This is Your Life. Matthew Kelly also did this kind of thing on Stars In Their Eyes - supportive of the guests, but warm and charming. I also love Clive Anderson, who knows how to quietly give others the limelight, yet has a real charm about him. I could probably go on…!
Comedy gold! absolutely and boy o' boy was Nimoy a great story teller as well.
I love his laugh!
End of Leonard Nimoy's bicycle story: "It was the one and only time I had hoped that "Amok Time" wasn't just a script!
A life filled with memories and I life under the lens of FANS of his characters WONDERFUL IS THE VIEW from afar
always liked william Shatner
Wonderful man.
What I found interesting was the introductory sequence was taped at Universal Studios when Star Trek was always a Paramount Studios property.
Also, using that music was strange since even in 1989, it was strongly associated with TNG.
Thanks for uploading another episode!
He will always be Kirk - no matter how many other people they cast in the role . No offence to Chris Pine - he's great - but he's not Kirk.
Agreed, Shatner may be the narcissist that many say but he will always be Capt. Kirk and beloved for that.
Chris Pine makes an excellent young Kirk but you can't beat an original!
I loved him as Denny Craine on Boston Legal. He was wonderful.
Kirk, William Shatner is the only one I've ever seen. Never watched the newer series they've had or the movies.
@Rex makepeace HOOAH!
The bicycle story is always good.
Did they show one of Shatner's early acting appearances, Nightmare at 20,000 feet? It's an early episode of Twilight Zone, he also appeared in another early episode, can't remember the title, but it has a memorable cafe scene concerning a penny fortune telling machine Shatner becomes obsessed with. Highly recommend these episodes for Shatner/Star Trek fans.. his acting intensity and emotion was there right from the start, he really was good and stole the show.
@Paul Langton-Rogers The first Twilight Zone appearance was in s2 e7, “Nick of Time”. Aired 11/18/1960. 25 minutes
Second Twilight Zone appearance, and most remembered, “Nightmare at 20,000 feet”. That’s s5,e3, which aired 10/11/63, also 25 minutes. Both now available in Twilight Zone on Hulu. William Shatner is a beautiful, beautiful man and will be flying into space on
Had to be the 80’s. That actor from TJ Hooker, wild hair. Sure was nice of Spock to be there.
THIS is so good!!!!!!!!
Its unfortunate that they couldn't make up before Nimoy died. Bless.
Nice upload that - thank you.
Funny of all the guests Shatner seemed most excited about Leonard Nimoy
such great chemistry..
It's because Leonard Nimoy is awesome.
They really were friends.
shouldn't have left out the Twilight Zone episodes.
15:34 RIP Leonard Nimoy.
For sure. Bless.
And De too. He worked in a lot of the TV westerns of the day, always playing a baddie!
William Shstner is the very very B E S T !!
enjoyed it very much
As a kid, my favorite non-Trek role he did was "T.J Hooker."/"Kingdom of the Spiders."
As a teen, "Rescue 911."
As an adult, "Twelve O'clock High."
(Was never crazy about his Denny Crane. Or, "Barbary Coast"🤪)
He was also starred in The Twilight Zone two different times, only two episodes "Nick Of Time" as Mr. Don S. Carter in 1960 and "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet" as Robert "Bob" Wilson in 1963. I know it wasn't his main show but I thought he was great in those different episodes that he played as different characters. Also had a part in the television show, "Boston Legal" as Denny Crane and the most recent one is "THE UNXPLAINED" as himself, not really playing any character, it's about a show with certain things you can't explain that is unexplained.
Great stuff , to see
Long Live the Esperanto Film Incubus: Lead role: William Shatner.
Shown over Christmas 1989. :)
I was at this taping. Glendale Studios on Glendale avenue....literally less than a quarter of a mile from Forest Lawn cemetery where Walt Disney and Michael Jackson is buried.
I spent a strange couple of weeks in the 80's in if memory serves me right in Chester Street Glendale CA.
Yeah, that's about a couple of miles away from where this was taped.
i knew walt disney was buried there, but i didn't know michael jackson was too!
12:03 raw acting talent!
When I first met William shatter at a star trek convention I saw he was a very short person of probably 5'5"!
Interesting to hear wife #2 speak
The shat has still got it....
Jeez, Aspel’s really phoning it in!
You know that no one ever said " Beam me up Scotty " ?
Oh why did the world have to change so much
It's amazing that Captain Kirk never got Space Herpes.
he did plenty of shagging round
Where were the rest of the crew? I know he never got on with Sulu but the rest were missing?
I don't think James Doohan liked him either
Do you notice how nice and slim everyone was back then?
~lol~SHATNER!! "I . . lived my life . . one day . . attatime" . . .
i think.... you got that...spot....on
Blooming heck I don't remember this!
They couldn't do this now because it would be considered some form of harassment
Kissed his way thru the Cosmos
wow they were all so young
He drank it?
Thanks
I like his wife here. Really nice.
Marcy Lafferty, his wife, was the Starfleet officer who replaced Ilia at the navigation in TMP.
pity only Leonard Nimoy showed up from the original crew. Though I'm betting George Takei was not asked to attend. ;-)
there was only one thing missing apart from lenard nimoy were was the other cast of star trek?
4 episodes of Star trek were banned in England too violent for children
And look at how sick the Discovery series is now, and there are probably no episodes being censored or cut.
Which ones? Why weren't they just shown at a later time?
Question:- Why would you find Kirk or the Enterprise at Universal Studios when "Paramount" produced Star Trek?
Tom Skerratt
That is possible, thanks for commenting.
Nick Searle because they own it
Maybe Paramount used Universal Studio's for some sets, or he just decided to visit there first while in the neighbourhood.
He was there for an interview.
Universal leased the rights or something because they used to have a stage show where audience members were pulled up on stage to play roles in the show. Universal Studios Florida had something vaguely similar except there was no audience and guests could pay to go into a green screen studio and act out a story in Star Trek and take home a video of the finished product. I know the Universal Florida thing has been removed. I don't know about Universal Hollywood's stage show though
He speaks like Kevin Pollak
what the heck is Zmed wearing? did he think it was This Is Your Saturday Night Fever?
Not certain who got more sex, Kirk or Bond. Either way, Kirk was the boss!
In his prime he could have played a good American-style Bond, secret agent character, and had his own film series. Never understood why America didn't create a similar long-running franchise.
Shatner was too short to play Bond
Kirk had to pull rank on his inter galactic conquests Bond got laid without a whole star fleet behind him to do his bidding. Bond wins
Red Devil9 Shatner played an Agent in "The Kidnapping of the President".
In terms of who saw the most action, it must be a four-way tie between Captain Kirk, Arnie, The Hoff and Elvis LOL
noticed none of other star trek cast turned up only spok .apparently none liked him
Not even Bones, where was the rest of the crew?
Not talking to him!
The only one that got along with him was Nimoy.
@@Geo24400 Not really true the rest of the cast just had a pop at him at conventions for lols/extra publicity
Nothing from the rest of the TREK cast ???
Kirk and Admiral Paris.
1:30 the actual REAL 'Orca' from Jaws which Universal apparently scrapped! :(
WHAT is Michael Aspel wearing????
FACT: Captain Kirk has never said, "beam me up Scotty", EVER! All BS!!
His then wife looks like such a sweet and lovely person.
9:50 Melanie looks so much like her father. Remarkable.
No mention of his classic Twilight Zone episodes? Really? Wow! Disappointing...
very very very
@@Bigbadwhitecracker Including the Outer Limits, Hitchcock and Naked City and so many others, I guess they just left out the TV stuff since it was only 1/2 hour.
They didn't mention hardly any of his many excellent TV appearances both pre and post original Trek. At least they mentioned The Andersonville Trial.
"ZAP" me there???? FRAUD!
8:48 I have that book!
Adam 12 and TJ Hooker made me become a cop lol
this was done way too early in his career as hes done so much more since then. ie.. Danny Crane
Denny Crane would be annoyed if you you called him Danny - he loved to hear those words - Denny Crane!
Poor Shatner said at the end, This Is It? lol Totally rushed show, needs to be an hour long.
+Peter Grimshaw Was the lack of other Star Trek personalities and indeed mention of the show due to enmity between BS and other players?
When Shatner says at the end 'this is it?' it appeared he was jokingly referring to the size of the book when he was presented it. It didn't seem like he was referring to the length of the show.
He was referring to the book. Not the length of the show.
Don't think W S intonation when he said "This is it" was of critical nature, just a q?
And who sent this earlier today? Could it be Charles himself or maybe his mother?
Are you trying to put my clandestine husband "in his place", Mr. King Kong?
It is in your head.
Now I ask you, do you even know what you or your mother want from me? She suggested the other day that it is time to bring things back to normal - or the way they used to be before this calamity.
I am still a hostage. The world keeps seeing you guys as their worst enemies.
Any ideas as to how you could change their view?
Poor old Michael Aspel looks a little uncomfortable at the start but once on studio turf looks much more comfortable. Mind you William had a similar problem in his paranormal series - very likeable actor with a great sense of humour
Michael Terence Aspel. How?
Wow! Those high hat/recess lights are so outdated.
Calling a cop "Hooker" seems a bit tongue in cheek, given the meaning of the word in US (prostitute)..what on earth was the series thinking and I'm surprised Shatner agreed to that lol
I can’t stand when cheap TV does jokey SFX, especially the sound...it still happens now it’s dreadful
I wholeheartedly concur, if ya don't have the budget then please refrain, it is really embarrassing to all involved
David Lewis get over yourselves. That was the technology back then
You do know this is from back in the day, right? Early 1980's I think.
The TNG theme is the best. Look at that.
I noticed the wife an "actress", I guess, only really had small parts in whatever he was in. Wasn't she capable of getting her own work? Perhaps, she wasn't considered talented.
+ted golden
They met on a series, she had a small part in Star Trek The Motion Picture. She is the daughter of director/producer Perry Lafferty.
That was his wife (2) wives ago. They were all very much younger than him other than his first wife. He has been married 4 times.
Oh boy...Spock was really pissed off with him! For real!
I"ve never seen Nimoy with so much energy.
No George Takei then?
